For the second consecutive year, Google has raised the asking price of its entry-point mainline Pixel phone.
When the Google Pixel 7 hit the shelves two years ago, the biggest allure was its sticker price, which undercut flagship phones from both Apple and Samsung. But with the Google Pixel 9 this year, that advantage is gone.
Both the phones have a metal frame, but the Pixel 9 has a satin finish to it on top. More importantly, Google has flattened the sides to give its new phone a sharper appearance, while its predecessor with a slightly bulging look that feels more comfortable to hold. Google has put the second-generation Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on the front as well as the rear face of the Pixel 9, compared to the first-gen Victus shield on the Pixel 7. Corning says Victus 2 offers improved drop performance and lab tests have also proved that it can survive a fall from a one meter height on rough surfaces like concrete and up to 2 meters worth of vertical drop on asphalt.
The Pixel 7 could only go up to 1,400 nits and reached 1,000 nits for HDR content. On the other hand, the Pixel 9’s display climbs up to 1,800 nits at HDR output while its peak brightness can touch 2,700 nits, nearly double that of the Pixel 7. The Pixel 9 has 12GB of RAM, giving it more future-proofing where AI is concerned. The Pixel 7’s low RAM means it will only be able to enjoy the perks of cloud-based AI processing, which requires an internet connection at all times and won’t be as fast as local processing.
Assuming you are someone who doesn’t like to change their phone frequently but still doesn’t want to miss out on the latest and greatest software tricks that Android has to offer, the Pixel 9 would be the safer bet. To start, the Pixel 9 adds the option to record 4K and FHD videos at 60 frames per second. Another notable addition is a feature called Add Me. Think of it as a magical solution where the photographer also gets to be a part of the group picture. All you have to do is click one shot with someone as the photographer. Next, swap them in and take another. The Pixel 9’s AI will blend both pictures into a final frame where every person is a part of the shot.
To put it simply, the onboard AI will analyze your screenshots, read the text and image details, and save that knowledge for future reference. So, let’s say you took a screenshot of a leather bag on Google Search. The next time you need to see that screenshot, you don’t have to scroll past the gallery previews.
The Pixel 7 could only go up to 21W in wired mode, promising a pace of empty to halfway battery top-up in roughly 30 minutes. The Pixel 9, which is sold alongside a beefier 45W brick, can charge quicker despite packing a larger battery.
